3. Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai

The power couple of Bollywood, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, also have this age-angle to their love story. Abhishek is two years younger than his wife, Aishwarya. After much speculation concerning their relationship, the couple got married on April 20, 2007. Be it their age difference, Aishwarya’s manglik yog, or anything else, there was nothing that could stop the two of them from tying the knot. They are such an adorable couple of Bollywood that their young daughter, Aaradhya, has already become a ‘celebrity’, much before she can barely understand this term.

4. Farhan Akhtar and Adhuna Bhabani Akhtar

Director-turned-actor, Farhan Akhtar is married to Adhuna Bhabani, who is six years older than him. Adhuna met Farhan when he was still writing the script for Dil Chahta Hai.
